Chelated Iron EDTA 6-0-0

Iron (Fe) is one of the most important micro-nutrients required for plants, trees, and lawn. Although most soils have plenty of Iron (Fe), usually it's not available for plants and that's why Iron (Fe) deficiency is very common in plants and it is also known as chlorosis (yellowing of leaves). Some of common Iron Chelate EDTA features:

NOTE: Your choice of Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is also very important for Iron (Fe) uptake in plants. Ammonium Nitrogen (N) is the most efficient form of Nitrogen (N) because it lowers the pH level in roots; therefore, increase Iron (Fe) uptake. In contrast, Nitrate Nitrogen (N) would increase the pH level and lower the Iron (Fe) uptake in plants.

NOTE: Applying Chelated Iron EDTA could definitely solve Iron (Fe) deficiency problems in the short term but it is very important to identify the problem and prevent it from happening instead of applying Iron (Fe) fertilizer which could become very expensive.

APPLICATION RATE:

Soil Application:13% Chelated Iron is recommended for use on acid and mildly alkaline soils. To ensure uniform coverage, IRON CHELATE should be dissolved in water or fluid fertilizer, or dry blended with water soluble fertilizers. For trees or individual plants, the chelate may be blended with an inert (such as soil or sand) or sprinkled directly on the soil uniformly under the plant's drip line, then watered in. Soil applications may also be made by dissolving in water and then mixing or metering into drip, sprinkler or furrow irrigation systems.

Foliar Application: Iron Chelate may be applied in water or in combination with most pesticides. After the correct dilution has been made, the spray solution should be buffered to pH 6-6.5. Thorough coverage and the use of wetting agents often enhance nutrient uptake from foliar sprays. Application rates and dilution factors depend on crop sensitivity, the amount of foliage to be sprayed and the application method. Avoid applying this product when plants are suffering from moisture stress. If there is any doubt, apply the spray solution to a small test area of the crop or foliage to assess any undesirable effects or phytotoxicity before general application.
